Ehab specialises in litigation cases, particularly those involving criminal law, contractual disputes and labour law. He was heavily involved in a sensitive labour dispute whereby the First Instance Court granted employee compensation against one of our major clients. The judgement was overturned due to it being proven false facts were submitted, saving the client AED 500,000.

During cases Ehab frequently acts as a point of contact and translator between legal consultants and clients. He has broad-based litigation practice, taking the lead on a variety of high value disputes. In recent construction litigation Ehab successfully won AED 1.5 million for our client by taking the matter to the Appeal Court and proving a disputed agreement was null in void.

Ehab has strong arbitration skills. In a case, previously won, he successfully re-attended the arbitration hearing convincing the arbitrator of the purposeful delays and refusal to pay by the opposing party – with the award again being issued in our clients favour.

Prior to Horizons & Co, Ehab was a Legal Consultant with Arab Orient Insurance Company where his role involved handling various court cases in the insurance field.

Ehab has a Bachelor of Law degree from the University of Jordan and was admitted to the Jordanian Bar Association in 2010. He is fluent in Arabic and English.
